Can someone recommend me a torque wrench for when I put my LC engine back together ?
I've had a look at them they're are different sizes and seem to start at different torque setting 🙄

I've got a couple of Norbar torque wrenches.....top quality!
Both 1/2" drive, though a 3/8" would be better for torquing the head bolts as it's a bit tight in there!🤔

On my lower range one the square drive pushes through the head to the other side so can torque left hand threads
I'm sure I'll find that really handy if I ever need to torque one, it's never happened yet

I use 2 also and find that many of the LC torques are top end of one and bottom end of the other so a one stop LC torque wrench would be fantastic!

I will message you if I need to borrow it though. |
